Reims is the unofficial capital of the Champagne wine region in northeastern France. It is famous for its towering High Gothic Notre-Dame de Reims Cathedral, where 25 French kings were once crowned, and for housing the underground chalk cellars (crayères) of prestigious Champagne houses like Veuve Clicquot and Taittinger.
Stand in the cathedral where French kings were crowned and descend into the UNESCO-listed Roman chalk cellars for a Champagne tasting.
